FOLLOW ME INTO DARKNESS
ANCHORS HAVE LIFTED WE'RE AWAY
COME AWAY WITH ME
IT'S TIME TO FIND AN ENDING
CAST OFF AND BRAVE THE STORM
WITH RECKLESS ABANDON
REACH INTO MY DARKNESS SMOTHERING YOUR INNER LIGHT

FEEL THE MONOLITH SWAY
THIS COULD BE THE END OF ME
I SCREAM
AS I LOOK UP
INTO THE SKY.

MY COMPASS NO LONGER NORTH
EVER LOST MYSELF ON THIS JOURNEY
NOTHING LEFT ASHORE CROSSES MY MIND
NO ONE WILL FIND ME

OR THE BLOOD SICK BEAST INSIDE
RAVAGING IT'S HELPLESS PREY.
I'M OUTSIDE MYSELF
LOOKING DOWN
UPON THIS SCENE

UNABLE TO STOP WHATS COMING
THE MESSY END
SHATTERED PIECES FALLING DOWN
HEAD REELING IN A TAILSPIN

STARE INTO THE REELING FACE OF MY OWN DARKNESS
I'M TASTING BLOOD
ON THE LIPS OF DEATH.
AS MUCH AS I WANT IT
I CANNOT JOIN HER.

FEELING THE GROWING URGE INSIDE
CREEPING IN ON ME
I HEAR THEIR GNASHING JAWS AS THEY TRY TO CONSUME ME
FEEL THE OBILISK DECAY
"I CAN'T SAVE YOU NOW."
BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS
TO BE TRUE

I CANNOT SAVE MY SELF

I FEEL THE SHORE PULL ME IN FROM THE TOSSING WAKE
OF ETERNITY

AS THE TIDE COMES IN
LIGHT SHOWS AGAIN
I SIT BESIDE THE MONOLITH AND I'M PONDERING...
